Remote Client Customization Reference

Remote Client Customization creates a script that modifies a number of registry keys in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Jive or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Jive. You can also use it to
override authentication settings, or to autopopulate the community URL for new
users.

Setting the Community URL

If you want new users to have the URL
auto-supplied after a client installation, so they don't have to fill it in, you can create a
remote client customization script with or without additional changes. The Jive instance URL will be pushed
to clients so they can connect more easily. Note that users who download the client from the
Tools page will have this URL auto-populated without any remote client customization.

Overriding Authentication Settings

You can override the authentication settings
set on the client by selecting Force authentication behavior override
and an authentication mode. However, you probably want to use the settings on the Advanced tab
for this. See Setting Authentication. Note that if you do create an override using Remote Client
Customization, it needs to match the settings on the Advanced tab.

Warning: This
is typically an expert administrator use case for when you need to troubleshoot client
issues for all your users: it is not recommended for standard deployments.
